As a thin guard, Curry not only became the top superstar in the league through his own way, but also completely changed the status of three-pointers in the modern basketball system.
This season, Curry has successfully surpassed Ray Allen and successfully crowned the all-time three-point king, coupled with the feat of 5 years and 3 crowns, as well as a series of hard honors, which has also allowed the outside world to discuss whether Curry is qualified to challenge the position of the first point guard in history.
To this end, the US media "FW" also compared Curry with the recognized first point guard magician in history, and the result was 7-0 one-sided, and the gap between the two was too obvious.
First item: Number of championships
In his career, the Magician reached the Finals 9 times and won the championship 5 times, and Curry reached the Finals 5 times and won the championship 3 times.
Therefore, the magician has an absolute advantage, but Curry's career continues, and there is every hope of catching up with the magician.
Item 2: Number of FMVPs
As we all know, this award is the pain of Curry's career, the first trophy was snatched by Iguodala, the last two were won by Durant, Curry career so far, as the absolute core of the Warriors, even an FMVP has not been won.
The Magic won the FMVP three times in 1980, 1982 and 1987, so Magic Johnson rewrote the big score to 2-0.
Fortunately, Curry's career continues, and the Warriors are currently the favorites for the championship, and they also have the opportunity to tie and even complete the rebound.
Item 3: Number of MVPs
So far in his career, Curry has won MVP in 2015 and 2016, while magician has won MVP three times in 1987, 1989 and 1990.
In this way, the magician won again, but this one was obviously less difficult than the previous two.
According to the current configuration of the Warriors, Curry adjusts his form next season and has a full chance to get the MVP.
Fourth item: the number of best lineups
The Magic have been named to the Best Team 10 times in their careers, including 9 first-team appearances and only one second-team appearance, and Curry has been named to the Best Team seven times, including 4 first-team, 2 second-team and 1 third-team.
If he stays in shape for the next few seasons, curry, 34, has every hope of finishing in total numbers, but the chances of trying to come back in numbers are slim.
Fifth: All-Star Count
In his career as a magician, he was selected as an All-Star twice, twice an All-Star MVP, while Curry was selected as an All-Star eight times and an AMVP once.
Considering Curry's influence, in the total number of All-Stars, there is a high probability that the magician will be surpassed, but it is impossible to catch up with the number of AMVPs, or even to surpass.
Of course, according to Curry's three-point shooting ability, if he finds the feel, it is not difficult to achieve a rebound, just like the first time he got the AMVP this season.
Sixth: Best Defensive Team
Neither player won the honor of the best defensive team, so this one was drawn.
Item 7: Victory Contribution
Johnson's career victory contribution was 158.8, and if he hadn't been plagued by illness, Johnson would have been in the top ten of history.
In contrast, Curry's contribution is very good, with a contribution value of 120.2, which is enough to enter the top 50 in history, but there is still a big gap compared with the magician.
Item 8: Career player efficiency value
Compared to the victory contribution value, the player career efficiency value is a more common high-level data used to evaluate players, of which Curry's data reaches 23.8.
Even so, the more all-round magician of attack and defense still won, and the career efficiency value reached 24.1.
In this way, in the comparison of 8 honors and data, only one of the two is tied, and the remaining seven are all dominated by magicians.
As a result, the Magic is still the well-deserved first point guard in the history of the league, but in terms of some honors, Curry has every opportunity to overtake, after all, his career continues.
And according to Curry's projection-based play, his career is destined to be very long, and from the current Warriors' lineup configuration, the team may be a favorite team for the championship for a long time to come.
